About this blog

A drabble is a story contained in a hundred words.

Clearly, I do not know how to count.

Nevertheless, these are snapshots of life and living, encapsulated by a word or a phrase.

Cue theme song. (To the Key of Emo)

Que Horror.

(It being near Halloween, and all that)

Vampires

When you were younger, you had a fascination with vampires. You researched Vlad Tseppes and Countess Elizabeth Bathory. Carrying delusions brought about by too much Buffy, you took up (and quit) various martial arts in preparation for Slayerhood. You’ve made jokes about local fanged undead—the better halves, as they were—and devoured awful literature (read: mawkish supernatural romances) about the creatures of the night.
Then again, they are the stuff of make-believe, and you much prefer fictional bloodsuckers to the metaphorical ones in your life

Demons

Inner demons.
You’ve heard the phrase. It’s for the baggage (you try) to hide from the rest of the world, wrestling with them night and day for some semblance of peace.
You wonder, what happens if the demons win?
You’re afraid you’ll find out soon.

Witches

Things happen, and of course, though they’re out of your control, the blame is squarely placed on you.
So this is how it feels to be burned at stake.

Sanguine

How ironic there’s a word that refers to “cheery” and “bloody” at the same time.
Or, if you turn the glass half-full, how fitting.

Blade

God you want to gut the little weasel.
